    Description

    An Important Work, First Edition, Signed

    Interleaved throughout, with a contemporary manuscript English translation of the Latin text. This manuscript translation is by prior owner, and Nottingham physician, John Calthorp Williams.

    Inscriped from the author on the front endpapers 'To D. J. Calthrop Williams from his friend the author'. The recipient has written to the title page 'J.C Williams, given by the author, translated by his pupil and friend J.C.W'. 

    This is the first systematic work on homeopathy as Quin introduced homeopathy to England after settling in London in 1832. He founded the British Homeopathic society in 1844. This work was dedicated to the king of the Belgians. 

    An important work in the study of Homeopathy.
